Cancer Medical Science / Tumor Biochemistry Lab (Miyagi Cancer Center)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates the characteristics of cancer metabolism to develop new treatments.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeking new cancer treatments through cancer metabolism.
The Division of Cancer Chemotherapy is located at the Miyagi Cancer Center Research Institute and also operates as the Tumor Biochemistry field of the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine.
Centering on research on the metabolic activity of cancer, it studies cancers such as small cell lung cancer, one of the most malignant types of lung cancer.
It studies new metabolism-targeted therapies that are effective against cancers for which molecularly targeted therapies have not been well developed.
It aims to develop new cancer treatments focused on metabolism, diet, and immunity.
Key terms
- Small cell lung cancer
- A type of lung cancer. It is considered one of the most malignant types of lung cancer.
- Molecularly targeted therapy
- Treatment that acts by targeting specific molecules in cancer cells. For some cancers, its development has not progressed.
- Immune checkpoint inhibition
- Treatment that releases the brakes on the immune system so that it can attack cancer cells more easily.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab focuses on the metabolic activity of cancer cells and studies approaches that could lead to new cancer treatments. Its targets include small cell lung cancer and other cancers for which molecularly targeted therapies have not been well developed.
*Illustrative imageNew metabolism-targeted therapies
The lab studies new metabolism-targeted therapies that are effective against cancers for which molecularly targeted therapies have not been well developed, including small cell lung cancer. It has recently developed a prototype and obtained favorable results in animal experiments.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping treatments based on metabolism, diet, and immunity
The lab aims to develop new cancer treatments focused on metabolism, diet, and immunity, as well as methods to enhance the effects of existing treatments. Animal experiments have shown that diet affects treatment efficacy, and that it also influences the immune system, including immune checkpoint inhibition, through gut bacteria; however, verification in humans is still to come.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Division of Cancer Chemotherapy consist of faculty, researchers, doctoral students, project researchers, collaborative researchers, and technical staff.
